San Diego Personal Injury Lawyers
When you or a loved one is injured in an accident, the last thing you should worry about is fighting an insurance company. We handle the legal battle so you can focus on healing - and we don't get paid unless you do.
A personal injury claim can compensate you for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. Depending on the facts, claims may be brought against the individuals, companies, or public entities responsible.
California recognizes both economic damages (medical treatment, lost income, future care) and non-economic damages (pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life). Where a defendant acted with malice or oppression - for example a drunk driver - punitive damages may also be available.
Insurance carriers are profit-driven. They routinely make low early offers before the full extent of an injury is known. Once you sign a release, the case is over - even if your condition worsens. Talk to a lawyer before you sign anything.
Explore how we handle each type of matter
Car Accidents
Car accidents are the most common cause of serious injury in San Diego County. If another driver's negligence caused your crash, you may be entitled to full compensation for your medical care, lost income, vehicle damage, and pain and suffering.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle crashes tend to produce catastrophic injuries - and riders often face unfair bias from insurance adjusters who assume the rider was at fault. We push back with accident reconstruction and clear evidence of what actually happened.
Bicycle Accidents
Cyclists have the same rights on the road as motorists - and injuries in bike-versus-car crashes are almost always severe. We represent cyclists throughout San Diego County against negligent drivers and their insurers.
Slip and Fall
Property owners in California owe visitors a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe and to warn of hazards they know about - or should know about. When they fail, and someone gets hurt, we hold them accountable.
Dog Bites
Under California Civil Code § 3342, dog owners are strictly liable for bites that occur in a public place or lawfully on private property. The owner cannot escape liability by claiming the dog had never bitten anyone before.
Wrongful Death
Losing a family member to someone else's negligence is devastating. California's wrongful-death statute allows a surviving spouse, domestic partner, children, or other dependents to seek compensation for the loss of financial support, companionship, and services the loved one provided.
Catastrophic Injuries
A catastrophic injury changes everything - your ability to work, your family's finances, your independence. These cases demand life-care planners, economists, and medical experts to project the full lifetime cost of care.
Boat Accidents
Boating accidents on San Diego Bay, Mission Bay, and coastal waters involve overlapping California and federal maritime law. Whether you were a passenger, an operator, or hit by a reckless boater, we can evaluate your claim.
Assault and Battery
Even when the criminal system pursues charges, the victim of an assault or battery can bring a separate civil action to recover for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and - because these are intentional torts - punitive damages against the wrongdoer.
